Geely has recently revealed more details about its forthcoming all-electric vehicle, the Geely Xingyuan, poised to compete directly with the BYD Dolphin. This new model comes equipped with advanced features, including independent suspension, a CATL battery, an 11-in-1 electric drive system, and a CLTC (China Light-duty Vehicle Test Cycle) pure electric range of up to 500 km. To further establish its competitiveness against the BYD Dolphin, the Geely Xingyuan has been subjected to rigorous testing under high-temperature conditions in Turpan, China, ensuring both its reliability and performance.
Sleek Exterior Design
The Geely Xingyuan features a modern electric vehicle design, starting with its closed grille—a signature element in electric cars that helps improve aerodynamics. The sharply styled headlight clusters enhance the vehicle’s sleek and aggressive appearance. Below, the front bumper incorporates dual “C”-shaped air intake grooves, adding a dynamic flair to the design.
From the side, the Xingyuan’s smooth lines and sleek profile contribute to a streamlined visual effect. It includes hidden door handles, low-resistance wheels, and a two-tone body, which creates a floating roof effect. The pronounced lines over the front and rear wheel arches add to its sporty stance. Measuring 4135 mm in length, 1805 mm in width, and 1570 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2650 mm, the Geely Xingyuan is designed to appeal to those looking for a stylish yet practical electric vehicle.
At the rear, the design remains simple and clean, with taillights that mirror the shape of the headlights, ensuring a cohesive look. The center of the rear features the model name in English, much like the Panda model. Multiple wheel hub options will be available for customization, and the car will come equipped with a monocular camera, likely to support various driver assistance functions.
Advanced Technology and Performance
Built on a new platform, the Geely Xingyuan includes independent suspension as a standard feature across all models, aiming to deliver a comfortable and controlled driving experience. It is equipped with advanced technologies, including the Aegis short knife battery, an 11-in-1 intelligent electric drive system, and a CATL battery.
The Flyme Auto smart cockpit is another standout feature, offering a user-friendly interface and enhanced connectivity options to improve the overall in-car experience.
Regarding performance, the Xingyuan will offer two different power options, providing flexibility for different consumer needs. Depending on the configuration, the maximum power output will be either 58 kW or 85 kW. With a CLTC-rated pure electric range of approximately 500 km, the Geely Xingyuan positions itself as a strong competitor to the BYD Dolphin, aiming to attract eco-conscious drivers looking for an efficient and stylish electric vehicle.
Conclusion
With its combination of advanced technology, sleek design and competitive range, the Geely Xingyuan is poised to challenge the BYD Dolphin in the all-electric vehicle market. Geely’s latest offering marks a significant step in the company’s push toward innovation and sustainable mobility, providing consumers with a compelling alternative in the growing electric vehicle segment.
